Vask, meanwhile, cornered and with nowhere to go, gulps slowly as the contingent of twoscore soldiers smiles at him, their weapons gleaming. However, the squirrel knows that his job is done, as he created a safe passage to Redwall for Flynn and the slaves. He throws down his pickaxe and smiles at the floor before he is tackled and beaten senseless.

Sahja yells maniacally as he stares about at the dead bodies littering the camp. His fur is in a tangled mess, and the smell of liquor is apparent on his clothing. He kneels down beside the base of the new castle and stares at the ground blankly. Aside from himself, the camp is abandoned until Tekos the hedgehog comes barrelling in from the forest, a lump protruding from his head. "The slaves! They're hatchin' a plot t'escape!"

Only after looking around the camp does Tekos realize that the slaves are already gone, but before he can retreat, Sahja's paw is around his neck, almost lifting him off the ground. The wildcat spits in the hedgehog's face as he hisses. "You...slave, you will be my slave from now on ... my only slave." Tekos's eyes widen with fear.
